I am against death penalty. Even if I was not against it, I
would question keeping a long list of capital crimes. Saudi Arabia says
it has Islamic laws. Islam does not prescribe capital punishment for
drug-related crimes. How can Saudi Arabia then justify decapitating
prisoners for any crime, the country's religiously driven establishment
thinks should be a capital crime. Then, of course, there is the matter
of judicial integrity. Was the executed man provided robust defense? I
seriously doubt it. Of course, no Pakistani government will have the
courage to talk to its Saudi masters about this injustice and other
similar acts of injustice against helpless Pakistanis found entangled in
similar cases. I suspect, most of the times, they are framed by bigger
fish that go free.
